Greetings. So I've been banned from about half a dozen subreddits for breaking zero rules as far as I can tell. I've been swarmed 3 times by mobs in completely unrelated subs just because one user responds to me with a variation of "I see you post on T_D so you're a vile monster", despite me not even being a Trump fan, but rather a fan of seeing the fake media get spanked.

However I'm not a hardcore conspiracy guy. Definitely not racist/bigoted, despite being accused of such. People say this is a bubble for that and I hope it's not. Let me know now if I shouldn't waste my time.

I'm here looking for free speech, and I'll defend even the most hateful speech from censorship, even if I down vote it. Is that good enough?

As for some personal details, I'm just a 30-something general laborer in the USA midwest. Have had a lot of warehouse gigs. Did office work a few times and always hated how it made me feel. I'm agnostic, if Carlin-ism doesn't count. There are no such things as bad words. Politically centrist, but if the left keeps behaving like destructive babies as the years go on, I dunno where I'll end up. At home I'm a gamer geek. Also, I like most liquor on the rocks, un-fucked with.

Freedom of speech is not conditional. You are welcome to say anything you would like, anywhere you would like. However, You are also welcome to the possible repercussions of that speech.

I've read this screed a thousand times, and I don't agree with it. We should be encouraged to speak our minds freely, and we should never, under any circumstances, lose our jobs for it. The only consequences for freedom of speech should be the verbal disagreement of others -- which is their freedom of speech. It's outrageous that anyone should be fired from their job for saying they voted for Trump, but that has happened countless times.
